Visual Boy Advance port. - Android Software Development

Hi all,
I know we already have the great GameBoid emulator for our platform but I was thinking about how great is would be to play some multi-player gameboy games over our bluetooth connections... GameBoid doesn't support this.
In fact, the only emulator that does I'm aware of is the Visual Boy Advance emulator, and it's open source!! Here are some links:
sourceforge.net/projects/vbam/files
vbalink.info
( add the protocols to the links.. i'm not allowed to post links apparently )
If I remember right the original developers quit and it has now been taken over by various teams improving the code base separately... The code is written in C/C++ using SDL library and the version on the second link supports LAN play..
So how hard would it be to port this? Bluetooth has a protocol that simulates a tcp/ip lan network right? Is is there an SDL android port that works well? Is this doable? Are there people interested? I'm a developer myself but I have no android experience...
So I just "launched" the idea.. are some of you interested? Is it possible?
Greetz,

It would be nice. Even though I purchased Gameboid and it's running great. I think VBA might have better game compabillity.

tanks very much cruisin. I am really appreciated
inmarsat - have you seen another emulator other than the ones built into evc? It would be cute. The evc one is most (or only!? )useful for developers I guess.

the key point is not evc, it's wether the emulator is a PPC one or an mobile phone one, coz they have got different OS
I think :shock:
EVC has an emulator for PPC and Smartphone, Win Mobile 2003 and Win Mobile 5 I think. Just download each of the SDKs.

ok

both from microsoft website? i only found ppc emulator with evc. anyway, il have a look at it as you suggested.
thanks 4 ur suggestion!
of course, your code needs to be compiled to run on the emulator. You can't just take normal StrongArm (ie real) PDA programs and run them on the emulator.
Hope the info helps. BTW, I think microsoft will post out free demo disks of the SDKs and visual studio if you look around on the website.

Hi.
The "emulators" inside the PPC 200x SDKs / WinCE SDKs are not really emulators.
They can be seen as swappers, because they do not emulate ARM processors.
If you need a real PocketPC / Smartphone emulator with real ARM emulation,
than try google: "device emulator", "Windows CE 5.0 Device Emulator", "device emulator 1.0"
You will find (an unofficial) emulator/ emulators, which is/was/were also developed by $Micro****$.

With which component can I play a MP3 in C# ?

Dear all,
I am currently developing an app in WM5 for playing MP3/Wav.
But I seem not to be able to find any component in C# in VS2005 which can be used to play MP3/Wav.
Does anybody give me a help or hint ?
Thank you so much.
I've been looking for the same thing and this is the only thing I have come across:
http://www.fmod.org/
You'll need to reed the forum and download the C# wrapper.
I think there might be a wrapper somewhere to allow you to use the Media Player API in WM5 devices but don't quote me on that...
I found this...
http://community.voxeo.com/library/audio/prompts/numbers/index.jsp
I don't know if it will help or not, as I'm still struggling with it.

By looking on this page I'm feeling that this programs are new Java virtual machines. I'm looking for an emulator for the Java machine implemented in HTC. Almost all brands have theire emulator for "sun wireless tool kit" but thanks for the URL !

forget the above URL - it's REALLY outdated. Read the MIDlet Bible instead - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=The (Java) MIDlet Bible

Tips for faster development under Visual Studio

Hi everybody,
I've tried to develop for Windows Mobile 6 under Visual Studio using the emulator and the deployment is rather long - Around 20-30 seconds just to deploy the application.
I was wondering if you have any tips regarding a faster way to test the application you develop for mobile. The current options I see now is the Visual Studio 2005 device emulator and deploying directly to the device itself (that actually proved to be a bit faster).
Thanks!
Yes you can test the application directly to your device if you have sync it but don't remember where to change that
Guys, where can I find complete developing environment?
I think a have VS on CDs, it's all I need?
or there is some add-on to VS to develop for WM?
Thanks in advance.

I'm also curious about that because i just installed VS2008.
It should be installed by default.
Try doing: New Project -> Oher/C# -> Smart device
All the emulators are part of VS2008 install.
in project settings under deployment one pick what emulator or real device one wish to debug on
some features and emulator rom versions
require
sdk wm6 or sdk wm5
google for the ms download for those sdk's
great tool
VS2008 is a great tool to develop application, also for pocketpc.
Impressive developing directly on the device...

A Gameboy Emulator w/ Gameshark

Alright, so here I am, spending hours on the interwebz looking for a gameboy emulator with a gameshark installment, when I could just ask the community of PPC users (the same one I have) if anyone knows of such a beast.
So XDA, does anyone here on the Rhodium forum (as I said, considering that's the PPC I have) know of a gameboy emulator with the ability to use a gameshark emulator attached?
I know of actual emulators, but not with a gameshark attachment. The best is probably Morphgear, but you can use the Java player that comes with the TP2 as well. For that you'll need a gba to .jar converter found by searching google.
